Problems solved by technology

However, such an arrangement of the monitor and the disc display host is quite inconvenient for driver and each passenger.
The backseat passengers, who actually view the video programs on the monitor, are unable to directly to control the disc play host.
Instead, passengers must ask the driver or the front passenger to operate the host, which may possibly interfere with the driver's concentration while driving.
When replacing the discs, the replacement operation can not be accomplished inside the car when said disc play host is installed in the trunk, i.e. the passengers must leave the car.
Although the monitor is the LCD display having a flat slimline structure, a lot of space is still occupied.
Further, such an LCD monitor is not adjustable in its viewing angle based on the user's demand.

Abstract

A video / audio display device is installed in a headrest of a seat in a vehicle and allowed to be directed and operated by backseat passengers. The video / audio display device includes an engagement base defined with a shallow cavity, a disc player retained in the cavity, a display panel for image display connected to the disc player through an angle adjusting plate. The angle adjusting plate has opposite edges along which a first pivoting mechanism and a second pivoting mechanism are formed. The two pivoting mechanisms, for respectively connecting to the display panel and the disc player, allow the display panel to be fixed at any desired angle based on the user's requirement.
